Wen Xinya couldn’t quite believe that she had a dreamless night.
As she had been used to Si Yiyan’s hug and warmth over the years, as he hadn’t been by her side for the past two nights, she had already had trouble sleeping for the past two consecutive nights, tossing and turning in bed.
Wen Xinya reached out beside her and indeed felt emptiness—no one seemed to have slept there. Although she felt somewhat disappointed, she wasn’t depressed.
She flipped over and could still seem to smell his mildly elegant scent unique to him, making her feel at ease.
Wen Xinya washed up. Although Si Yiyan was absent in the huge office, a sumptuous breakfast laid on the glass tea table—it was her favorite oriental breakfast and seafood porridge.
Feeling Si Yiyan’s meticulous care, Wen Xinya ate breakfast in a good mood. However, when she smelled the fishy smell of the seafood porridge, a disgusting feeling rose from her stomach to her throat and almost made her puke.
Thinking that she had a bad gastric, she didn’t take it to heart. She drank some milk to alleviate the nausea and forced herself to take some seafood porridge but kept gagging.
Gu Yuehan walked into the office, saw her covering her mouth and gagging incessantly, and couldn’t help but worry. “Sis-in-law, are you feeling unwell?”
Wen Xinya was about to answer him when nausea overcame her. She rushed into the washroom, sprawled over the toilet bowl, and vomited vigorously.
Gu Yuehan hurriedly followed her. Seeing that she was vomiting badly, he felt slightly nervous.
Only when Wen Xinya puked to the point of her gastric juice come out did she feel slightly better. Due to vomiting, she felt weak all over momentarily and looked pale and frail.
Gu Yuehan went over to help her up. “I’ll bring you to the hospital.”
Wen Xinya shook her head and said, “I’m fine—probably some gastric issues.”
Usually, sufferers of yin deficiency had stomachs that were colder in nature. The seafood porridge, also cold in nature, probably made it worse.
Seeing that she looked extremely pale, Gu Yuehan was still worried. Just now, Sis-in-law was vomiting so violently that it was frightening.
Wen Xinya rinsed her mouth, washed up again, and felt much better. “Oh yes, how come I haven’t seen Ninth Young Master?”
She was merely asking casually, thinking that Si Yiyan was busy at the moment.
Gu Yuehan said, “Ninth Young Master took the flight to Russia at 8:30 A.M. this morning.”
Wen Xinya suddenly widened her eyes as her voice shot up. “What? He went to Russia?”
Wen Xinya could hardly describe the shock, disappointment, sadness, anger, and all sorts of complicated emotions in her right now. Si Yiyan actually didn’t tell her such a major thing.
He hid it from her and left just like that.
Yes, previously, she had made a mistake, but she was working hard to make him forgive her. On the other hand, what gave him the right to treat her like this?
Gu Yuehan saw that her pale face looked even more awful and her frail body even looked like it was about to give way, knew that she misunderstood Ninth Young Master, and hurriedly explained, “It was a last-minute decision. Ninth Young Master wanted to tell you and bid goodbye, but he couldn’t bear to wake you up.”
Last night, Sis-in-law had slept late and was sleeping soundly in the morning.
The press conference for the cooperation between the Lanxin Company and the Wen Corporation was scheduled for 3 P.M. later today and she was due for a hectic day. Ninth Young Master only wanted her to get a good rest so that she could attend the conference in her best mental state.
Wen Xinya was fuming inside but still kept calm and asked, “He rushed over to Russia so hurriedly—did something crop up in the plan against the Korean-Chinese Alliance over there?”
Indeed, she took it to heart and couldn’t forgive Si Yiyan for leaving quietly without saying goodbye.
However, that was a separate matter.
She knew that the most crucial thing now was to deal with the Korean-Chinese Alliance.
Gu Yuehan nodded and said, “Does Sis-in-law remember that Mr. Wei Che that you’ve seen in the Elegance Room in Russia previously?”
Wen Xinya nodded as her face gradually turned solemn.
That Wei Che was the only person that she’d ever seen who could match up to Si Yiyan both in terms of looks and aura—how could she not remember.
Then, at the second level of the casino, that Mr. Wei had stood in her way and told her something from Lucifer’s quotes: “Follow me and I’ll make you the devil of souls.”
Followed by telling her in an eerie tone, “The one who dances with the devil will meet with a terrible fate.”
Then, due to his plot, she almost lost her virginity to the little master of the Berveld Family and almost caused Lucifer to become enemies with them.
She definitely remembered the man with such a creepy existence.
Gu Yuehan said, “Ninth Young Master has always suspected that Wei Che has a grudge against Lucifer and has been checking on him in the recent years. However, he seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and his background is a mystery. Ninth Young Master went to Russia in a hurry because Wei Che seemed to have appeared there.”
Wen Xinya nodded. “Got it!”
Although Wen Xinya had only exchanged a few words with Wei Che previously, she could feel the hint of familiarity when he mentioned Si Yiyan.
She guessed that not only did this person had a grudge with Lucifer, he knew Si Yiyan very well.
Seeing that she calmed down, Gu Yuehan said meaningfully, “With the commencement of the operation to disintegrate the Korean-Chinese Alliance over at Russia, only Ninth Young Master can helm Lucifer well—hope Sis-in-law can be understanding towards him.”
Although Gu Yuexi could manage the entire Lucifer, he couldn’t command the respect of the military and royal families participating in the operation.
The massive existence of Lucifer seemed to have an extraordinary status in Russia and was untouchable, but in actual fact, it was filled with danger. The Russian government and the major royal families there had been eying the lucrative Lucifer for a long time.
This time, it was a battle between Lucifer and the Korean-Chinese Alliance. At the same time, Lucifer also had to prevent the Russian army and the royal families from backstabbing them and cause the downfall of the entire Lucifer.
Stunned, Wen Xinya suppressed the dizzy feeling in her head.
Although she was angry at Si Yiyan for leaving without saying goodbye, she knew just how complicated was the situation over at Russia right now as well as the crisis that Lucifer was facing.
As the head of Lucifer, he definitely had to be responsible for the fate of the entire Lucifer—she couldn’t and wouldn’t stop him.
This was the mission of the one who held the admiration of everyone in Lucifer.
Gu Yuehan looked at her quietly for a while and said, “Over here at the Capital city, the plan to disintegrate the Li and Xiao corporations will commence. Ninth Young Master asked me to stay back to assist you.”
Ninth Young Master had handed everything over here at the Capital city to him.
